TO TIM IDITOII OF TIIN ANNALS OF OPORTING.* Sia—lf you think the following worthy of a place in your in. teresting miscellany, it is very much at your service ; it deserves insertion, if only to expose the knavery of certain parties. On Friday,`tbe 29th of September, a very interesting trotting match took place in the neighbourhood of Liverpool ; interesting on account of the numerous bets, rather than from any thing ex traordinary in the proposed performance. The match was to trot fourteen miles, in harness, in one hour, for 100 sovereigns. The ground selected for the purpose was that part of the main road between Liverpool and Manchester, which reaches from Present to Sankey Chapel. A few minutes before twelve o'clock, ou the morning Owe-mentioned, Mr. James Webster of Liverpool, ap peared at the starting-place, with the mare, in a light gig, having brought her from the last-mentioned town (a diktance of eight miles) the Lune morning. Many persons were assembled on the occasion, some of which, as it afterwards proved, were actuated the basest motives'. After some arrangement of watches, the mare started precisely at twelve o'clock, amidst much boisterous and culpable vociferation. She went off gently, but, owing to the, clamorous noise (of those who had betted against her) she broke iuto a gallop before she had gone 300 yerds:--a break! a break I was instantly vociferated in such a manner as left no doubt that this unnecessary clamour, far from being the mere ebullition of momentary feeling, was evidently raised for the per, pose of creating confusion ;—the wheels of -the gig were backed, and the mare went off afresh :—she proceeded near a mile 'at a slow pace, when she broke again, owing to the same cause ; so much indeed, was the animal alarmed and irritated, fi;om noise and furious riding, even up to her heed, that, after Mr. Webster had backed : the wheels the second time, she cantered i—again she was backed, and Mr. Webster threatened to pull up altogether cries of shame were heard from several gpflemen, and, owing to their interference, Mr. Webster once most' "toted. The mare went away steadily, her pace increasing as she proceeded, gra duelly shaking off the crowd that had hitherto accompanied and annoyed her. Mr. Edward Jones, mounted upon his sinewy and celthrieue trotting galloway, strained every nerve, hut' was able to go with Mr. Webster no farther than the Green Dragon, on' Bold-Beath, (about four miles from' the starting-place) ; here, well bespattered with dirt, and streaminovith profuse perspira tion, lie entered the house for the purpose of consoling ,hire elf with Miss Foden's good cheer. Two persona only accompanied Mr. Webster the whole way. On . reaching Sankey Chapel (half the distance), it was tolerably evident the mare would win easy'; at this place, a number:of persona were collected for the par pose of acco mpanying the mare back again. She was tur ne d round, and trotted the seveaudles back in 2b minutes and 30 Se cond,. She a ppeared to be going at her ease, and caine in' four minutes under the hour. It was thought by several gentlemen, that the mare did one of the. miles, on , her return, in three mites. Sh e i s a Well-bred handsome oheanid, fifteen hands two 14"" high.

The generat advantage to the public, resulting from an extensive spread of information, in a plain and prac tical manner, respecting those acts of the Legislature which either protect or consolidate society, needs no comment. it is hoped, therefore, that the following summary of the last Marriage Act will not be unac ceptable to the numerous readers of the SUN News paper. It is enacted, that marriages may not lawfully be solemnized in England, except by licence or publica tion of banns. The publication of banns must be made upon three successive Sundays preieding the Marriage, during the time of divine service, morning or evening, and immediately after the second lesson. They may be published in any church or chapel au thonzed by the Bi s h op . If t h e part k s live in dis tinct parishes, the banns mina be published in each, and a certificate, stating the days on which the. publica tiou took place, signed,by the officiating minister, is a ,necessary authority for the clergyman who celebrates the marriage. The parties maybe married in either of the two churches, as suits their convenience. If the marriage do not take place within the space of three months after the complete pub lication of the banns, no Minister must so lemnize it, but they must be republished, un less a licence, according to the Act, be procured. The Act, also, forbids any Minister celebrating .a marriage by licence, if the licence has been obtained more than three months ; it must be renewed. In order to prevent clandestine marriages by banns, the officiating Minister is not bound to publish them, unless the. persons to . be married deliver to him a notice, in writing, of their christian and surnames, their respeCtive places of abode, and the term they have dwelt there, seven days at least, before the time required for publication. No Minister can refuse to publish the banns of persons under the age of twenty- one y ears ; nor to solemni ze th e i r marriage unless the parents or guardians of such minors, shall, openly at the time of publica Lion in the Church or ,Cliapel, forbid the banns. The Act does not specify, the space of time requisite to con stitute residence in . a parish before the banns can be published ; the clause which requires seven days notice; is the only one which, bears` on the point, which, as it respects the marriage of minors, is an important one ; but no licence to marr y can be had, unless one o f th e parties shall have livid fifteen days in the parish where the ceremony is to take place ; these fifteen days must immediately precede the application for the licence, This clause allows marriage to be had by licence in anyplace where one of the parties pleases to reside for the fifteen days. A caveat may be entered against the grant of a licence to marry ; the party must state in writing his or her objection and place of residence ; this delays the issuing of a licence till the matter has been ex amined, or the , caveat ,- Atiti4aatlOSittt the-party ap plying for such licence is„ nOt required to have any bond or security as heretofore ; he lutist snake oath before a surrogate, that he-or she belie' rob that there' is no impediment of kindred or alliance, or any other law ful cause, nor any suit commenced in any Ecclesiastical court, to bar or binder the. said marriage; that one of the parties bath, for the space of fifteen days imme diately before such licence, had his or her usual place of abode within the parish, where such marriage is to be solemnized. When either of the parties is under the age of twenty-one years, not being a widower or a widow, the Act further requires that an oath must be taken, that the consent . the persons or persons, whose consent is required to the marriage by this Act, has been obtained thereto. Those who can legally give consent to .the mar riage of minors, not being widowers or widows, are first the father, hen the gniirdians, if there be any ; then :the mother, if unmarried ; and lastly, the guar dians appointed by the Court of Chancery; ...and Such consent is required for a minor, unless there be no person authorised .to give consent ; and whenever the father or mother be insane, or beyond the seas, or shall unreasonably, or from endue motives, refuse Con sent, then the minor, being desirtius of marrying, may apply to the Lord ChanceTlor, the Master of the or the Vice-Chancellor, who are respectively autho rised, to proceed p i on slick) petitions in a_ summary way, and the consent ' o f either of those laW officers will be legal and good, independeiit'of the father or mother. The Archbishop of Canterbury can grant a special licence, which authorises the parties to celebrate their marriage in any place, whether consecrated O'r not, and at any time, being not restricted to canonical hours; the usual or legal:hours are from eight in the morning till noon. • Every marriage is declared to be void and null which is celebrated in any place not authorised by the Bishop, or without the publication of banns, or a licence, or by any, person not in Holy Orders, provided In a i l s tt pr h: s t a ig nt h at i i t o l: i e , one of the parties wilfully consent t o suc h marr i age ; but every marriage isdeclared g to ro l:e s v had through false swearing or if it he soklnni , :ed according to this Act.

The Quilimane is the chid river on the east side. of Africa, from which proceeds the Zambete. The Portu guese have settlements upon its banks, at and beyond Sena, a very considerable position, and one which is, from its in terior situation, the most important of their commercial establishments. It has been suggested that the Zambeze, and the Zare, on the opposite coast, go very far, indeed, towards insulating the southern part of the continent, in a manner similar, to that which is operated by the Orange .and Great Fish rivers. The development of the fountain head of the principal African streams has long been a desideratum; our knowledge is still confined an the sub ject, and every attempt to improve it must be a sensible benefit to geography. It was with this object in view that a small party was detached from. the Barrae9uta in July, 1823. The project bad been devised and prepared,at the Cape, and the sane tion of the Portuguese authorities, with every assurance of support and protection, obtained. They were to trace the river upward, as far as it should be found practicable or convenient, and were afterwards to endeavour to pass by land to the Cape. The persons who proceeded on this service were, a Mr. BroWne, midshipman of the Leven, Mr. Kilpatrick, acting assistant surgeon of the Barracouta, and Mr. Forbes, a young botanist, who purposely offered himself at the Cape, where he had been sent by llorticul tural Society, for the porpose of making botanical researches in the prolific and interesting field which that Colony at to naturalists. Two negroes were also attached to them ; and they left the vessel with whatever was deemed needful. They entered with spirit upon their enterprize with the exception of the botanist, wh o appeared to leave the ship with uncommon reluctance, confessing his pre science respecting the disastrous termination of this service. They proceeded, in their canoes, up the river, with cheerfulness and moderate expedition, until attacked by that fatal enemy the fever, which has hitherto baffled al most every attempt of this kind in Africa, invariably prov ing more destructive than armed savages, thirst, hunger, or beasts of the forest. None of these gentlemen were permitted to return, har ing perished of fever at, or in the vicicity of, Sesa. Mr. Browne, who was the last surviving of the three, continued his journal to within three 'days of his death. He laments, in feeling terms, the sufferings , and fate of his companions, but his remark's contain nothing interesting to the general reader, being filled up with the detail oT the river, and Mr. Forbes's observations upon the botany of its bunks. Th e y appear to have been well received and entertained at Sena, and were probably induced thereby to lengthen their stay. The only complaint of a serious nature, which appears in this diary, is the exorbitant demand of the Portuguese Priest of 200 dollars for the burial of Mr. Forbes, by which we may perceive that the extortions of this peculiar body 1 1 of men, is by no means provincial or local. It is, however, a matter of pleasure to state, that the property, with one or two trifling exceptions, which these unfortunate individuals left behind them, was scrupulously sent to Mozambique by land, at which port they were de livered on board the Leven, in October 1824 ; and this circumstance serves, in some measure, to show, that the inflnenctlof the Portuguese Govmor.General, when seri , oualy e tl, is Winch More txMailditible theft ftft iv usually believed to be .in those parts. These effects travelled above 400 miles, in th e cou r se o f w hi c h j ourney t h ey of necessity 'have come into the power of various tribe, and, be exposed to the rapacity of needy and unprincipled Access* to the Quilimane is considered dillkult for vessels of much draught, by a bar across its entrance. On this bank, and the adjoining shoals the sea is accustomed to break with the greatest rage, the tides run also with considerable velocity, and at those periods when the wind is violent, ,and iti opposition to the stream, the conflict between the two elements becomes of the most terrific description, and; as far es the eye .can extend over this scene, nothing. short of destruction appears to be offered to Whatever 4611 dare to approach it. On the 23i1 of July, 1823;_the Barrarouta was at an chor off this river, without the bar, in five fathoms. She had expended several of the preceding days in sounding the entrance, and in endeavourin g to e ff ect h er entry; b ut, discovering hat it was not till the height of spring titles that the passage could be prudently attempted, it was re solved to complete the service by the boats alone. On the foregoing day, however, with the wind moderate at S.E. about noon, the sea became suddenly and violently agitated, and, in a very few minutes, the entire expanse of water beramea field of breakers : they mounted the vessel's sides in rapid succession, and rendered the deck impassable by their breaches across it. The prospect was truly alarming,' but escape therefrom was out the question till the arrival of high water, and, even then, it was in the highest degree doubtful. Many an anxious eye, on this occasion, was rivetted on the land; but betwixt the vessel and the benell existed an impassable gulf. It was one of those situations which frequently occur at sea where skill and experience are nugatory, and where Chance only can bring relief. The security of the vessel, on this occasion, rested solely upon her anchors and cables, until ten minutes past four P.M, when, being near high water, and the wind little ei;ort of a hurricane, and it appearing almost impossible for the Vessel to ride much longer, the cable was slipped, and the ship stood in, at all hazards, for the river. 4 , Poi here ingulfed, and foundering as she lay, Fate covered round, and marked her for his prey.!' At . 30 minutes past-four she arrived 'upon, and was passed over the bar, without striking upon it, by a power ful sea, which favoured her at the critical moment. She ran up the river, an d a nchored in security. Th e c hi e f Pas ' tuplace was on board upon this occasion, and as the Captain, o u p f u t he i i , and some others of the most experi enced Officers, were at the time on detached service up river, the salvation of the Earrqpoittnthis day, must be ,mainly ascribed to him. Having, in this manner, surmounted the difficulty of the: bar, the survey of the river proceeded with ease. The water r ow provided by the natives, and a large quantity o f wood cut, both for fuel and the use of the carp en t ers .' Our whole intercourse here was carried on with the greatest degree of confidence, good humour, and mutual obligation.

The mouth of the Inhambone River is commoded by a bar; which very much retards its navigation; its site in the old maps is extremely erroneous; and it is remarkable, with what confidence geographers have laid down the places along this coast, thinking, very probably, that no thing like verification was likely to follow in their time and that a statement, however erroneous, was preferable to a confession of ignorance. , The dress of the natives of this province is pecitliarly ' graceful. It consists of,a kind of kilt, of any colour, in the manner of the Highlander; several yards of cloth are thrown over the left shoulder, leaving the right arm at liberty; their cap is cloth or skin, the lower pert of which is ornamented with pieces of brass, or buttons, and resem bles, at a distance, a plaided band;: feathers of various kinds wave therein; bracelets and anelets are worn in pro fusion, and, upon the Whole, their costume is the most in teresting that the Continent eilbrds, so far as our observe : timas hare been extended_ 'llidbmee,,or itssagye, is here the favourite weapon; but there is, on the whale, but ' little peculiar to those people. The province of Inhambane did formerly export vast numbers of slaves to the Brazils. its direct trade is now subverted, but it forwards occasional' cargoes to Mozam bique. " Formerly," uflirmed one of the Portuguese Com mandants, " the natives of my district had spirit enough to surrender their liberty for a very trifling 'emapenbatioe. Without any reluctan ce they would barter their own an d their family's freedom for one intoxicating revel; hut, un fortunately, such is the change of ideas, that at. present it is with difficulty they can be prevailed upon to do it. Not withstanding the powerful arguments which we urge on this heed, they prefer their poverty, nakedness, and pa ganism, to the abundance, comforts, and religious conso lations, afforded by Brazil." Of such sort was the lan guage Of this Portuguese, but let those who have had op portunity of witnessing the fact, deseribe in bat portion of the earth the friendless native of Africa has experienced more severity of treatment, then in the Portuguese pos sessions of South America save only the Col on y o f t h e Mauritius, where, still th e feelings' of every casual stranger are outraged by the objects that continually are passing before him. We departed the river Inhambane, the Sth September, and completed the survey of the coast up to Sorel* (in cluding: the Banta Islands) 1 7 the 12th. The entrance to Sofala is beset with intriracies, and a danger similar in kind to that experienced at Quillinsne, awaited us. We anchored outside, procured a pilot, and delayed our attempt to enter the port till the proper time of tide, when weigh ing, and making sail for the port, being governed by the assurances of this conductor, who appeared confident about a sufficiency of water, we suffered 'the inconvenience of striking, and remaining upon the bar for a considerable period, beating upon it occasionally with much violence. As the tide receded, the vessel settled in the sand, anti being shored up, did herself no material injury. At low water, the sea broke round us in the moat lotions manner, but the labour of preparing to heave her off pro r ~!eded with alacrity. Every part of the bank was sounded, and anchors run out in the most favourable direction; the vessel lightened, Iw y starting the water, th row i ng ove rb oar d the ping' and other portables ; and when the operation of heaving comnleneed, Omagh every mode Of' apply is i a creasmg the pitrehases was adopted, she restated each effort, owing- to the very little rise of tide, until the morn ing of the I:ith September, when after ex trawl ditutry labour -die was forced into 'deep water, and ones more floated upan her proper element.
